Psychic abilities are a staple of science fiction in general and space opera in particular. Therefore, the Cepheus Engine Core Rules include rules for psionics. These core rules use a skill-throw mechanic for psionics, which, while being reasonable given the Cepheus Engine mechanics, greatly limit the use of psionics. This bookletpresents a variation on these core psionic rules, using a simple, more straightforward system. As we at Stellagama Publishing like to describe it: "pay the PSI points and the 'magic' happens". While these rules increase the power of psionics, there is still a strict limit to their scope in the shape of a tightly limited pool of Psionic Strength points.

In addition to these variant rules, we present expanded psionic powers; rules for psychic struggle between psions; new psionics-related equipment; and variant psionic training rules.
